The Barn Swallow

Collect all pages-cleaned and sized to make a miniature
book for your dolls.

 

Barn Swallow is a graceful thing.
Catches his food upon the wing;
Perhaps that's why he is so fond
Of skimming lightly o'er the pond.

       Assemble a mini doll sized book: Right, is the Barn Swallow's illustration and verse. Visitors can collect all the bird illustrations and verse from "Bird Children" to print and construct a small book of verse for their dolls. Simply drag each png. into a Word Document, print, cut out all of the images the same size and staple the pages together at the left edge. Squeeze out some white school glue along the stapled edge of the pages and attach a cardboard cover.

       Young students may enjoy crafting a stained glass cut-out of a parrot. Below is a sample of what the project could look like after gluing bright, colorful tissue papers to a template cut from black construction paper.  Or, simply print the template out in black and white and color it in with crayons or paint it in with finger paints...
